When a great pianist takes the Carnegie Hall stage, it’s a high-voltage experience. When it’s two of the world’s best, the electricity can light up a city. The New York Times called Leif Ove Andsnes “a pianist of magisterial elegance, power, and insight;” while The Guardian has praised Marc-André Hamelin’s “sure-footed musical approach” and “impeccable range of technical skills.” The power duo performs songful Mozart, sincere but elusive Debussy, and both pungent and primal Stravinsky.
